The finish coat eomsists ot Coioeiiigmatteigit Eeqoired., i2 its, The composition of mattei is secured by substantially the following method: The

three waxes are melted and it a 'colored suifaceis desired the ooioiing mattei' is pieterably added atteiwhieh the liquid is poured into pans and ait-owed to cool to noimai atmospheric temperatuies when it vf/'iii Toe found to be a relativeiy hard, waxy oompound. .In the oase ot the iiish coat the waxy materials aie 'put together in their liquid state and heated. The ooioi'ing mat ter, it i'eqoii'ed is then added and the oomposition thus formed is permitted to cool at noimal temperatura.

Wiles the door is to be treated, the saitaee @dft www

of the Hoor, whether plain or stained or colored, is heated until it reaches a temperature of approximately 300 degrees Fahr. This insures the heating of the floor to a proper depth, usually a half inch, to a temperature su cient to permit the composition of matter when melted at about a temperature of 212 degrees Fahr., to enter the pores of the stony material of which the floor is comosed to a depth of approximately half inch.

he melted composition of matter may be applied to the heated surface of the floor with a brush or other suitable instrument or tool and when the Hoor cools to normal temperatures the waxy composition is thoroughly embedded and incorporated with the porous ooring and becomes in fact art and parcel of the wearing surface of t e fioor. Among the coloring material which I have found to be useful in imparting color to the filler or to the floor chromic oxids or soluble oil dyes are preferred.

Having thus described the nature and objects of my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A composition of matter for coating floors of a ston porous, granular nature which consists o mineral wax 70 lbs. animal wax 20 lbs.y vegetable wax 10 lbs. and 8 lbs. of coloring matter added to the waxes when said waxes are melted.

2. A composition of matter for coating ioors of stony, porous, granular nature which consists of parailin 70 lbs., beeswax 20 lbs., and carnauba 10 lbs. combined in the proportions stated.

3. A composition of matter for treating oors of stony, porous, granular nature which consists of paraffin 70 lbs., beeswax 2O lbs., and carnauba 10 lbs., combined in the proportions stated, with 8 lbs. of coloring oxid. A

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
